Sarri says Hudson-Odoi can be one of Europe’s best

His lack of playing time has put Bayern Munich on alert and Chelsea reportedly rejected a 20million bid from the German champions in recent days.Chelsea value the 18-year-old at around double that fee and have put a 40million price tag on his head.Blues manager Sarri said Hudson-Odoi can become one of the best players in Europe but has insisted there are elements of his game he must improve on before breaking into the first team.Speaking in his press conference ahead of Chelsea’s match against Southampton, Sarri said: “He has to improve, I think, in movement without the ball. As a winger, he has to improve in the defensive phase, but he has the potential to become a very important player, not only for English football I think but for European football.”4

Sarri also stressed how difficult it was to integrate young talent into the first team.When asked if Hudson-Odoi needs to be patient when waiting for game time, Sarri said: “Also the fans sometimes, also the club sometimes, and so I am in the middle. I have to win. It’s not easy at this level to take the young players from the academy and he’s ready to play, not only here, everywhere in Europe.”On Wednesday morning Chelsea confirmed the 58million signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic.Although the American forward will spend the remainder of the season with Dortmund on loan, the move has raised even more questions about Hudson-Odoi’s future at the club.Pulisic joins Chelsea having made 115 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 15 goals and creating a further 24.4
